Great OpenNTF BOF Session, even at 07:00 AM

Having a Birds of Feather Session at 07:00
AM is hard. Even with coffee and Swiss chocolate. But I'm very proud of
the large crowd we had and the vibrant discussion.

Our main topic was the planning of the
new app dev contest. We will outline the ideas in detail later, but here
some ideas and visions:1. Virtual Conference with top speakers
from the community and some home work2. The Sprint Contest. You got 2 weeks
to fulfill a specific task, you can do it as team or as individual3. We vote for a Community Champion,
based on open source contributions, blog entries, answered questions on
StackOverflow and some other benchmarks

All these points where discussed and
we received good feedback! We will outline the plan for each of the topics
later.

Thanks for contributing! And we will
see us in the next Session:
